A woman sits cross-legged on a blue mat on a red stage in a meditative pose with hands resting on her knees, wearing an orange-red sari-style garment and a long black rudraksha mala with a bindi on her forehead. Red and maroon drapes and a white curtain frame the stage, with a black speaker monitor in the lower right. The image is a photograph of a single seated devotee during a satsang-style session.2016-12-12December 19 20162016-12-19A photograph of a yoga or satsang session in a large red-draped hall. A man with long dreadlocks and a full beard stands at centre in a loose orange-brown shawl draped over his body, holding a black handheld microphone in his right hand. The figure has distinctive long dreadlocks, an orange wrap and a microphone, so an appearance-based probable candidate for a person is present, standing and speaking. Around him, students sit on colourful striped mats, many in black tops, one in a yellow outfit, and a few in white. Gold trident-shaped stands line the red stage, with a purple wave graphic on the screen behind and a camera on a tripod at right.2016-12-19December 04 20162016-12-04A man in a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder stands on a striped rug in a hall with red curtains, speaking into a headset microphone and gesturing with an open hand. He has long dark hair, a full beard and a tilak on his forehead, and wears a red wristband. Seated participants in dark and white clothes fill the floor on both sides, and a large screen behind him shows a deity murti with lit oil lamps in front. Swamiji (probable): the speaker wears saffron robes, long swept-back hair, a beard and a forehead tilak, cues consistent with a discourse setting. The scene is a yoga or satsang session.2016-12-15December 12 20162016-12-12December 15 20162016-12-15A standing teacher in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair, a white forehead mark and a headset microphone gestures with his right arm toward a large seated audience in a yoga hall. Audience members sit on striped mats in black and grey clothing; a man in the foreground with his palms joined in anjali listens attentively, and a dreadlocked person sits with their back to the camera. Behind the stage a golden deity murti with an orange-and-blue headdress stands beside a lit backdrop and tall ornate candle stands. The scene suggests a yoga session or satsang discourse. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in saffron robes with long hair and a forehead mark matches the page's identification, though his face is not used for identification.2016-12-15A photograph of an empty ornate stage with red velvet drapes and a red carpet.
